Traffic Police: 72 Per Cent of Travellers Have Yet to Leave Jakarta, Peak Migration Expected Tomorrow
The Head of the Indonesian National Police’s Traffic Corps (Kakorlantas Polri), Major General Agus Suryonugroho, stated that 72 per cent of holiday travellers have yet to depart Jakarta.
As of H-5 Eid (Monday, 16 March), Agus reported that of approximately 3.5 million projected vehicles, only 28 per cent have left Jakarta.
“Out of a projection of 3.5 million vehicles leaving towards the Trans-Java route, West Java, Cikupa in Banten and Sumatra, currently only 28 per cent have left Jakarta. Therefore, we are still managing approximately 72 per cent more,” he told journalists on Tuesday, 17 March.
Agus explained that based on field trends, the second peak outflow is expected to occur on Wednesday, 18 March. For this reason, he stated the National Police would implement a nationwide one-way traffic scheme to ease vehicle congestion.
“The peak outflow is estimated to be on the 18th. So on the 18th, between 10:00 and 12:00, we will enforce the National One-Way System for the outflow,” he said.
The Traffic Corps is also preparing traffic engineering measures by utilising functional toll roads on several stretches to help disperse the migrant vehicle flow.
“There is a diversion at the Southern Japek toll. This will be strategically useful for dispersing during the return flow, so Sadang to Deltamas to Setu can be used. This includes Bocimi, Parungkuda to Karangtengah, so the Cibadak arterial road can be eased,” he explained.
“This also includes Solo-Jogja, from Probolinggo to Besuki to Paiton, and from Semarang-Bawen to Ambarawa, which have already been activated,” he added.
Below are the schedule and locations of traffic engineering measures including one-way, contraflow, and odd-even regulations.
